Different shades of Blue

[ktdre]

Does anyone know what blue color options there are at audi? I liked a blue on an M5 but dont know if audi have an equivalent. Sepang blue is the one everyone talks about most but never saw it in person. The blue i am trying to hunt down is a rich blue which has a very very slight inclination to a dark purple (if that makes any sense).

Also do u guys think i should go for the color change or not. I currently have a white R8 with black and red interior, CF sides and engine and interior and titanium rims.
Opinions?

The three blues I know of are

Jet - a light blue on the cooler side (hints of grey)
Sepang - a medium/dark blue with a deep hue
Mugello - a very dark blue on the warmer side (hints of red/purple)

Mugello is only available as a body color through Audi Exclusive. It's the standard color of the side blades when ordering Sepang. It's also my favorite of the blues, I just wasn't prepared to pay the extra in $$$ and time.

It sounds like you are talking about Mugello blue as it is a richer color and closer to purple. I have jet blue which is a light blue and is mistaken by a lot of people for grey at night :P

I actually looked up the colors, doesnt the sepang blue have more of a purple ting to it than the megulla? I like the sepang color more but when light hits it, it seems a different color/lighter blue (which i dont like) :-/

I haven't notice any purple in Sepang. Mugello definitely has some purple tones depending on the light. That is probably the color you are looking for.

The more i look at them the more i like the sepang more. Anyone have a pic of the sepang under sunlight?

There are a few here:

random Sepang Blue pics

The color is light enough that it does not change as much with ambient light as the darker colors do. The first pic in the set I posted yesterday has areas in the sun. That is about as light as the color gets.

Thanks SteveR. So u think keep it white or go with sepang?

You can't go wrong with any of the R8 colors so go with your gut I guess.

If you like blue, both Mugello and Sepang are very nice. Some of the pictures make Mugello look a little bland, but it is a nice deep blue in real life with some interesting hue changes.
